ALEXA VENTURES' OTC BB LISTING RE-ACTIVATED.
STRATFORD, ONTARIO, CANADA, JULY 16, 1999--Gerry Racicot, President of Alexa
Ventures Inc., (Alexa), a computer and electronics products company, announced
today that the Company's OTC Bulletin Board listing (ALVEF) had been
re-activated.
"This move follows a period of dormancy of over a year. We believe we now have
the kind of business activity and plans for a major incursion into Internet
related markets that will excite interest in the US investment communities and
support active trading there," said Racicot.
Alexa recently announced a move to establish itself as a prominent player in the
Internet electronics products market with the proposed acquisition of Eiger
Labs, Inc and Point Multimedia Systems, Inc. Eiger is the No.2 in the US PCMCIA
modem retail market with a 14% market share. Eiger has strong relationships with
major retailers including 'Onsale.com', 'Egghead.com' and 'Home Shopping
Network' which are successful Internet e-commerce companies.
"Our future is firmly tied to global opportunities afforded by the explosive
expansion of the Internet. However, the world's number one market, the USA, is
right on our doorstep, and that's where our major focus for profitability
remains," concluded Racicot.
